the HDMI port of my lenovo ideapad 500s with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is not working.



I also executed the xrandr command, but only the primary monitor is detected.



How can I solve my problem?



How can I check that HDMI is not broken?



Thanks in advance.

How can I solve my problem?




What worked for me (Lenovo thinkpad x1 Carbon, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS), is either switching the display manager back and forth between gdm3 and lightdm



sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3


and/or reinstalling lightdm and reconfiguring it again instead of using gdm3



sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm ubuntu-desktop

    In case you using Nvidia graphics card the nvidia-driver could be a problem.



    In my case, I've been using my Lenovo Y530(GTX 1050 ti) with Ubuntu 18.04 with nvidia-driver 415.xx which hasn't been supporting the secondary monitor through HDMI. I've tried in many ways with no luck. I finally upgraded the driver to 418.39 and the secondary monitor began to work! :)



    But be careful in case you decided to go and install the driver but are not used to. There are some scenarios which can harm your system which would eventually lead you to format the system.
